If you are anxious about seeing a new dentist or going to a new dental clinic where you do not know anyone, take the time to familiarize yourself with the staff and the office areas.
If the staff are not busy, ask for a tour. If you are new patient or are an existing patient in a new clinic this can be very helpful to settle your fears. If you are still feeling tense and anxious, just take some time for yourself and know that your time and your health are valuable. If you have good friends and family let them know about how important your dental health is and that you need the time for this appointment. Have a friend go with you, or an adult family member if you need support.
Arrive for your appointment early so you can go over notes of concerns you have, and even fill out paperwork so you get all of the time with the PA dentist and support staff that you need. Go over your fears, concerns and dental history. If you need X Rays and a cleaning, set aside as much time as you need. Speak to your PA dentist about what concerns you.

During your visit focus on the care given to you by the well trained dental staff and support team. Visualize how much better your teeth will be, and what a beautiful smile you will have when the work is done. Plan your next visit before you leave is possible so you will be sure to keep it.
